Chapter 283 - Pregnant (1) (2/2)

”Mimi?”

Slowly, Mimi turned around to face him. Her expression was dull as wood.

”What's wrong? Are you sick?” The man gently placed his hand in her soft forehead. He frowned. No fever.

He placed another hand on her soft cheek and found it to be a normal temperature. But the glazed, almost expressionless look on her usually bright eyes worried him.

”Tobias...” The girl's surprisingly hoarse voice called him.

”What? What is it?” His hand reached up to stroke her cheek, gently tucking the hair behind her ear.

Mimi blanked out for a few seconds before she licked her pink lips to speak again.

”I went to the hospital today.”

Tobias's brows furrowed. ”Did something happen with your father?”

She shook her head and slowly rose on the bed. Tobias followed her, a hand resting on her thigh in comfort.

”I went there to see him. But after...I went to take a test.” She said in a low voice.

Tobias looked at her. ”What kind of test?”

Looking up into the man's dark, deep eyes, Mimi hesitated.

Her head lowered and in a hushed almost unheard voice said, ”A pregnancy examination.”

Tobias's entire body froze. The hand on her thigh grew stiff.

After a moment of silence, he asked softly. ”And?”

Mimi stared down at her fingers, fiddling with them. ”Well, it first started with me getting tired more often. But then I thought that was normal.”

”Mhm,” Tobias grunted.

”Then I also noticed I was getting hungrier than usual, which I also thought was normal.”

”Mhm.”

Mimi pouted and whispered, ”I even gained a few pounds.”

”I haven't noticed.” He said simply.

She faintly smiled at the man's remark, but her expression turned serious once more.

”But then...I've been feeling nauseous lately. And...I missed my period.”

”Mimi,” Tobias's voice was slightly shaking as he continued, ”Are you pregnant?”

She looked up at him, hesitant. Finally, she nodded her head.

”I'm pregnant.”
